Gennaro Sangiuliano is the Meloni government's culture minister

Gennaro Sangiuliano is the culture minister in the government formed by Giorgia Meloni, the first woman in the history of the Republic to hold the post of prime minister. The new minister succeeds Dario Franceschini, who held the post in the last two governments, the Conte II government and the Draghi government. The new government will be sworn in tomorrow at 10 a.m.

Born in Naples in 1962, Sangiuliano, a journalist by profession, has been director of TG2 since Oct. 31, 2018. Previously, from 2009 to 2018, he was deputy director of TG1. He joined RAI in 2003 as a correspondent for TGR, serving as a correspondent in Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan before becoming deputy to Augusto Minzolini at TG1. Before that, from 1996 to 2001, he was editor of the daily Roma in Naples. Instead, it was in the early 1990s that he began his journalistic profession, first at Canale 8, then at Opinione del Mezzogiorno and then at Indipendente. He was educated in Naples, where he received his high school diploma in classical studies at the Pansini Institute and then a law degree from the Federico II University, later earning a master’s degree in European private law from the Sapienza University in Rome and a doctorate in Law and Economics from the Federico II University in Naples. He has taught Information Law at Lumsa, Economics of Financial Intermediaries at Sapienza, and History of Economics and Business at Luiss in Rome. He has also been director of the School of Journalism at the University of Salerno since 2015. Sangiuliano also has a history of political militancy, having been a district councilor for the Italian Social Movement in the Soccavo neighborhood in his hometown.

Sangiuliano also has a long track record as an essayist and writer, with several books on history and current affairs dedicated to important figures in recent world politics, such as Hillary Clinton, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump. Several awards for his journalistic activity: in 2012 he won the Capalbio Prize for historical non-fiction, in the same year the Sulmona Prize for cultural journalism, in 2014 the Cosimo Fanzago Prize for journalism, in 2018 the Cicerone Prize of the City of Aprino, in 2019 the Civil Journalism Prize, and in 2020 the Ischia Prize.
